<h1>About reports</h1>
<p class="whs1">Reports display your business data. Reports 
 are the focus and goal of business intelligence. Through analysis of a 
 report, you can gather business insight. A report analyst or designer 
 can run any report to which he or she has access. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
